It was not that long ago I was just a dues paying member of A WI, reading HT, asking for technical bulletins and occasionally taking advantage of a bench course. Then I was asked to serve on the New Chapter Development Committee (now part of the Membership Commit tee). Serving with that small group opened my eyes to the larger organization that is today A WCI. Seeing the level of devotion and giving, I set a personal goal to emulate that fine group of ladies and gentlemen.
The structure of A WCI consists of its members, the Board of Directors, A WCI staff and committees. The real workhorses of the organization are the committees. This is where the goals and objectives of the President and the Board are implemented and expanded. Committees are made up of members-YOU. A WCI is always seeking those who will give of their time, talents and energy. At the start of each year the President appoints committees and their members. Periodically replacement committee members must be found among volunteers. Give any Board member a call and ask for an assignment on a committee and make things happen.
You can find the listings of current committees and their members printed in the Horological Times, the A WCI Website and the 2006-2007 Directory. The Directory is yours for the asking when you contact A WCI.
Your Board of Director's goal this year is to keep the members apprised of happenings and decisions affecting A WCI and you. By becoming a member of a committee you will be in a position to affect those outcomes.
I thank those who have stepped forward this year to serve on the Committees, the Board and the A WCI staff.
Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW
The AWCI-ELM Charitable Trust needs your support. Again this year when you receive your dues renewal you will see that you are being asked for a $25.00 donation to the ELM Trust. When the ELM Trust receives a donation, not only does the Trust benefit, so does A WCI. Educating the public about watches, clocks, watchmakers and clockmakers is the main mission of the ELM Trust. This educating of the public also benefits you as a member of AWCI. Through the efforts of the ELM Trust, the public learns more about how unique you are as a watchmaker or clock maker. They learn about the need for qualified watchmakers and clockmakers. They also learn that our trade is not the proverbial "Dying Trade" or "Lost Art", but that it is alive and prospering, and that there is a real need for more people to get the proper education/ training in order to enter our profession and become successful. The ELM Trust thanks you for your past and future support. This year's donors will be recognized in the HT for their generosity.
I would like to remind you of the "Career Center" that is available to members on our website W'WciJ.awci.com. If you follow the link, http:// www.jobtarget. com/ home/ index. cfm ?site _id =317 you will be taken directly to the page, or from our home page go to the "About" menu, slide down to "Careers" and over to "Career Center". Once you are there you will be able to quickly read what it is all about and how it works. Most importantly, this is a free service to our members, student members too. If you are a student getting ready to graduate in 2007, you should be putting your resume together and posting it on this site. If you are employed and not happy or just looking for a change you should have your resume posted there too.
On the other side of the coin, if you are looking to hire a watchmaker, or clockmaker this is a good spot to start looking. Presently there are 36 A WCI members with their resumes posted. There is a fee involved for this part of the service. You are also able to post an ad there detailing the position you wish to fill. (Continued on page 34.)
